Der Westerturm ist das letzte von Duderstadts mittelalterlicher Stadtbefestigung erhaltene Stadttor und das markante Wahrzeichen der Stadt. Aufgrund eines Konstruktionsfehlers des Dachstuhls hat der Turm eine gedrehte Spitze.

Der Vorgängerbau des heutigen Westerturms wurde 1343 zum ersten Mal urkundlich erwähnt („valva inferior“). Am 17. April 1424 fiel er zusammen mit großen Teilen der Stadt einem verheerenden Brand zum Opfer. Am 14. Juni desselben Jahres wurde mit dem Bau des neuen in seiner heutigen Form erhaltenen Stadttores begonnen. Vollendet wurde der Wiederaufbau im Jahre 1506 mit dem Aufsetzen des Turmknaufs.
